Did you know that most of what was "prophesied" had already occurred or was occurring during their lifetime?

That's like me saying that the United States would go to war with Iraq (no shit) - Or that we would be the dominant power.

They keep on bringing up the conquering of Mecca, or Persia - well check the dates when the invasions happened and then check the #'s force vs force.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out who was going to win.

i'll disregard the mentally ill comment, and proceed.

i myself have questioned a sheikh about this question, and actually said the same thing (less agressively), that most of the prophecies were about conquests and conquests can be predicted, rather than prophecised. so i'm in the same shoes as you on that.

you can split up the prophecies of muhammad into the prophecies mentioned in the qur'an, and those that were hadith (his sayings).

his own prophecies include him predicting faitmah would join him first after his death. fatimah was his daughter, and was the first one to pass away after the death of the prophet.

a substantial amount of the prophet's prophecies involved the last days.

i have copied and pasted the list with small interpretation.

a. The barefooted bedouins competing in building tall buildings.
Today we find in the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabs who used to be impoverished herders of camels and sheep, are competing in building the tallest tower blocks. Two of the latest examples are Kingdom Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Al Faisaliah Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (see SkyscraperPage.com, SkyscraperPage.com)

b. The Mosques would be like palaces.
This is clearly the case, even though the Prophet ordered simplicity in the houses of Allah, the mosques have become more and more fantastic, with golden domes, marbled floors, lavish carpets and chandeliers. (see http://home.mweb.co.za/ka/kayef/images/masjinabi.jpg)

c. Disappearance of trustworthiness, so much so that one would only be able to say: "I know a trustworthy person in such-and-such town."

d. The increase in killing, so that the one who kills does not know why he killed, and the one killed does not know why he was killed.
I was recently sent an article from the Washington Post about the rise of gang warfare. Part of the initiation ceremony was for a new gang member(some times as young as eleven) to shoot someone. The second highest cause of death from fifteen to thirty five in the US are gun related. The massacre of civilians in the Vietnam War by American troops who had little idea why they were there, and the increase of such conflicts, is further illustration of the fulfillment of this prophecy. As are the rise of insane mass murders, of children killing children, such as Jamie Bulger.

e. The increase of the use of riba (usury/interest) so that no one will able to escape being tainted by it.
This clearly the state of the world economy today.

f. The enemies of the Muslims dividing the Muslim's wealth and lands between them, the Muslims abandoning jihad, and concerning themselves only with the worldly matters.
We have already mentioned this.

g. The increase of literacy.

h. The decrease of religious knowledge due to the disappearance of scholars.

i. The increase of sexual promiscuity, and new diseases that people had not herd of before spreading amongst them as a consequence of that.
This is clear, with the arrival of AIDS, and other previously unheard of viruses.

k. Appearance of Dajjals (liars), each claiming to be a Messenger of Allah, while Muhammad is the last messenger.
There are numerous examples of this, starting with Musailima, who arose in the time of the Prophet, just before his death, to more modern liars such as Elija Muhammad, founder of the Black American racist movement "The Nation of Islam", and India's pretender Gulam Ahmed of Qadian.

l. Nakedness of women while still being dressed and people copulating like donkeys in public.
Obviously a direct reference to soft and hard-core pornography, which has become a dark stain on our society in recent times.

m. The drinking of wine becoming common, and the Muslims making it lawful by calling it another name.

n. Shouting in the mosques and lack of unity.

o. The worst and most ignorant will become leaders and they will be oppressors.
Bill Clinton, saddam Hussain and majority of worlds Leaders are prime examples.

p. A man will obey his wife and disobey his mother, and treat his friends kindly and shun his father.

q. Men will wear silk and gold, and the making of it lawful by the Muslims even though the Prophet had forbidden it for the men of his 'Ummah (nation).

r. People will abandon the religion for a small worldly gain, and keeping to the religion will be like holding two hot coals.
